Turn your life upside down
Take a car into town Wait until the world's asleep And tear it up and never stop again Take a train to the sea Stay up all night ..and be It only takes a fraction of a second To turn your life upside down Take a train to the sea Be anyone you want to be A little spark of light inside your mind Safe and sound off the ground upside down Wide awake on the edge of the world |

As you lie there on your bed
Beneath the face of Louise Brooks With your makeup and your teddy bear And your C.S. Lewis books Bad seed You're a bad seed You're a decadent in chrysalis Waiting sleepily to emerge When you'll visit every seedy need Of your random obsessive urge All the ruses that you use All the food that you refuse All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus All the poisoned attitudes And the lust for the unknown And the second best that devils use To make this world their own Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu Every rainy day by e-mail As you lie there on your bed Another virtual page arrives There will be times when you remember me Of the chapters you'll be writing As the voices echo in your head In the book called wasted lives As you read Henry and Anais All the lost weekends and booze All the finger-and-thumb screws All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise Interior Lulus Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu Use the anger Paint a picture of it Throw the colors Use the pain, use the pain Scream back a brand new emotion As it runs across the skin Fire across paper Burn and curl, burn and curl You thought you couldn't feel like this But it's happening again and you're waking up in pain Tattooed in that private place Microsoft and tears intimately pierced Discovering and remembering You felt like this somewhere before Stirrin' up the bed of the river Somewhere you don't like to go You wrote this down so many times But you get up anyway and you write it down again You've bored us all to death with this Well who you gonna tell When you've nothing left to sell She says, she's lonely She says, she knows me But she's a one-way street She told me what I already know "If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can buy it, it can be bought If you can buy it, it can be stolen If you can break it, it's already broken It's already broken, it's already broken" Lately, I can stand to hear other people talking So many empty conversations What a waste of lips Lately I can stand to stand on Primrose Hill Look down upon the city A heart pumping the roads In our racing stripes We rejoice at being connected Without touching, thank God for the internet We stare at our screens all our lives What a waste of eyes 'Till the electrical storm blows our fuses And we gaze, dumbfounded, at the rain All the trust and tired care Left to rust and go nowhere All this gold beneath my skin Sparklin' like sin somewhere within In so deep, in so deep, in so deep That I can't sleep for these Interior Lulu These Interior Lulu, these Interior Lulu lu lu lu lu lus |

Three hundred miles an hour on water
In your purpose-built machine No one dared to call a boat Screaming blue Out of this world Make history This is your day Blue... bird At such speeds... Things fly... What did she say? I know the pain of too much tenderness Wondering when or if you'll come back again Wanting to live for you And being banned from giving But only love will turn you round Only love will turn you round Only love Only love will turn you round So we live, you and I Either side of the edge And we run and we scream With the dilated stare of obsession and dreaming What the hell do we want Is it only to go Where nobody has gone A better way than the herd Sing a different song Till you're running the ledge To the gasp from the crowd Spinning round in your head Everything that she said |

Things come wrapped up in time
Like the past in a present Or the perfect line in a song They take their time And when they're gone They take their time with them And you can't have them back Because the time for them has gone And their time has gone with them The time for them has gone. There's an echo of them An echo of the time they were wrapped in Sweet or bitter in the memory But an echo is all, all I can reach now An echo of you An echo of you An echo of you in your time Still echoing Like a star in the sky Like a star in the sky above me And the story of it's life Told backwards down this rod of light But at it's beginning.. Long extinct. |

On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
Feeling so high you can feel so alone Unable to breathe at the height that you flew Staring on clouds with no view of below On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel Falling towards something out of control Unable to miss like the man in the tram Crashing your car in Amsterdam He did it without knowing, didn't feel a thing He just wrecked it and kept going The space around the stars Is something that you know A billion miles of darkness Left your feeling low The space around the stars Is something that you know Everything about you So perfectly restrained But everything inside you Bites you Everybody in the whole of the world Feels the same inside Everybody in the whole of the world Everyone is only everyone else Everybody's got to know Everybody lives and loves and laughs and cries And eats and sleeps and grows and dies Everybody in the whole of the world Is the same this time Is the same inside In the whole of the world |

Well I hear that you were looking out to hunt me down
And I guess you're used to having everything you want But you know that love can be as hard as sticks and stones I tell you nothing else can be as hard as love can Well I hear you've got my number and you want my name I'm a stream of noughts and crosses in your R.A.M But you know that love can be as hard as algebra Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love Hard as love Well I hear that you were lookin out to take me home And I hear that you can handle it and you're not scared Have you heard about the pictures on my bedroom wall?... Baby nothin else has ever been as hard as love Well it makes you hungry and it makes you high It makes you suffer and it makes you cry But it's all worthwhile It makes you humble and it makes you crawl It makes you tremble and it makes you fall But it's all worthwhile It makes you desperate and it makes you dream It makes you dangerous and it makes you scream But it's all worthwhile Just lie back and smile....... (They will continue to love you even though the rest of the world hates you...) It makes you hungry and it makes you high It makes you suffer and it makes you cry It makes you panic and it makes you vain It makes you primitive.....Sick inside It makes you angry it makes you blind It makes you guilty and it makes you lie Tied up and beaten Spat out and eaten Suicidal NOTHIN'S EVER BEEN AS HARD Well I hear that you were looking out to change my faith You can bash me with your book of words, Hammer me down! But you know that love can be as hard as six inch nails Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love Hard as love Hard as love |

I can imagine nothing more tedious Than trying to have fun with you again Maybe it's just something in my mind But I hate feeling like I'm trying all the time It's a kind of lie When we pretend that we're still friends I'm sure you're not exactly short of people to hang out and laugh at your jokes Tell you you look great You wouldn't want me around Making it all feel "forced " ..and "put down" And every time I smile to wonder if I'm laughin' at you And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin' Just exactly what it is I'm taking pleasure in Although I always said We were basically the same and all one All one It's so easy to persuade myself I'm clockwork and you're quartz I guess that irony Will surely be The death of me And every time I smile d'you wonder if I'm laughin' at you? |

> Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love Did you ever fall in love Did you ever dream of falling If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill We are alone in the world We must do what we feel we should We are told what is right Need hurts within us We can see sense We can feel what feels right And so often All these things are not at all the same They're not at all the same If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill Did you ever dream of running And find you couldn't move Did you ever dream of running Running scared Ankle deep in glue With the monster after you And it's catching up Monsters catching up And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere And you're slowin' up And you can't wake up And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere wake up wake up You're falling.. If my heart were a ball It would roll uphill Did you ever see a shadow Cast against your bedroom wall Crooked shadow in the lamplight Ten feet tall Did you ever dream of falling And find you couldn't move Did you give up. And discover that you haven't given up Did you ever dream of falling Did you ever fall in love hard ball dream love now roll fall clown stain truth space time race give black white all one church state god fast as I could cry laugh hide feel no clouds will to win sweet seed you me hard ball dream love now roll fall clown stain truth space time never do that, never do that will to win, will to win, never do that give black white all one wild church state now roll fall clown stain truth space time race fruit GIVE never do that If my heart were a ball it would roll uphill All one insane wild sweet heart Wild rose Did you ever fall in love?.. |

You're only human
So am I It's such a shame we have these secrets and lies That get discovered from time to time Whatever rises eventually falls The world turns and it turns on us all You can't live life without making mistakes You can't live trying to keep the outside world away It's time to stop Beating yourself up It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault I broke a mirror Maybe two Shattered reflections That's all I have of you Crackin' like eggshell beneath my fear I couldn't breathe, I couldn't keep the outside world away Oh dear When you lie down to sleep Repeat after me It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault We're both so tired It's not your fault It's just the way we're wired |

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me And filled me full of thirsty love And the memory of water I wonder if a king still fishes there His back towards the burned out air His laughing catches singing loud Of the memory of water Your taste is blood and ecstasy But I must drink you all alone You're freckled like a speckled egg A dove but this bird has flown Oh stay with me sweet memory Oh stay with me I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree By the standing pool where you drank me As pain flows through me like champagne Of the memory of water |

A wise man once said
A flower is only A sexual organ Beauty is cruelty And evolution A wise man once said that everything could be explained with mathematics He had denied His feminine side Now where is the wisdom in that? I came just as fast as I could Through the dirty air Of your neighbourhood Your name on a grain of rice Hangin' around my neck And a head like lead This is the 21st century I heard everything they said The Universe demystified Chemicals for God This is the 21st century I heard everything they said A wise man once wrote That love is only An ancient instinct For reproduction Natural selection A wise man once said That everything could be explained And it's all in the brain We lay on a velvet rug by the open fire She blew air on my eyelids I cried "What's it all about?" As she kissed my hair She said "There, there.." "This is the 21st century I heard everything you said The universe demystified Astronomy instead This is the 21st century Can't you get it through your head This aint the way it was meant to be Magic isn't dead Come to bed Come to bed And rest your heavy head my love.." And slowly, from above, She showed the answer's something that can't be written down This is the 21st century Flash to crash and burn Nobody's gonna give you anything For nothing in return There's a man up in a mirrored building And he just bought the world Would you want To have kids Growing up Into what's left of this? She shook her head, She said "Can't you see? The world is you The world is me." |

Let's meet up
And get beat up Well, she tied me to the headboard with a surf leash And her wet hair hugged her body like a long-lost friend And I really tried my best to get across to her But nothing she would say could be defended Well, her birthday suit it was her only present When I looked into her eyes - no history And I told her eating people wasn't pleasant But she laughed a snake-eye laugh and walked away from me And I watched her as she walked across the coals I watched her as she walked across the coals She was singing: I was born in nineteen-sixty-weird And I'm your nightmare surfer babe Mister Wilson, where's your sandbox and your beard? Are you still looking for the perfect microwave? So I really tried my best to get across to her I said, "One day every pebble hits the beach" And I kissed her face and held her like a long-lost friend But she was too far out there to be reached She was singing: I was born in nineteen-sixty-weird Mister Wilson, I'm your nightmare surfer babe Mister Wilson, where's your sandbox and your beard? Are you still looking for the perfect microwave? And the sun came up over the mountain And the waves rolled in from across the bay And the fabulous brightly coloured birds flew up out of the forest And she said, "Well! We're all just heaven's beautiful children together in Paradise "Lie down, my dear, you're going to enjoy this." She looked like she'd had sex With a tyrannosaurus rex She was singing: I was born in nineteen-sixty-weird Mister Wilson, I'm your nightmare surfer babe Mister Wilson, where's your sandbox and your beard? Are you still looking for the perfect microwave? I was born in nineteen-sixty-weird Mister Wilson, I'm your nightmare surfer babe, old man Mister Wilson, where's your sandbox and your beard? Are you still looking for the perfect microwave? And I watched her as she walked across the coals And I watched her as she walked across the coals |
